(软件产品系列工程/)Software product-family engineering

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Product Family Engineering, PFE 2001, held in Bilbao, Spain, in October 2001.
　　The 31 revised full papers presented together with an introduction and six session reports were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. The papers are organized in topical sections on product issues, process issues, community issues, platform and quality solutions, diversity solutions, product validation, and

The LNCS series reports state-of-the-art results in computer science research，development，and education，at a high level and in both printed and electronic form.Enjoying tight cooperation with the R&D community，with numerous individuals，as well as with prestigious organizations and societies，LNCS has grown into the most comprehensive computer science research forum available.
The scope of LNCS including its subseries LNAI spans the whole range of computer science and information technology including interdisciplinary topics in a variety of application fields.The type of material published traditionally includes.
—proceedings （published in time for the respective conference）
—post-proceedings （consisting of thoroughly revised final full papers）
—research monographs（which may be based on outstanding PhD work，research projects，technical reports，etc.）
